Default Taking A Break From Poker

Hey All.

I've had a great (albeit short) time playing with you all on Stars.

Recently I've been having some terrible luck in the sit n' go's. And before I go and donk off all my chips due to Tilt, I've decided to withdraw my funds and buy myself something that will make me happy.

My three most recent exits:

All are Stars $15+$1 turbo sit n' go's

Number 1 Blinds 75/150. I have about 1K in chips left. Two limpers, I'm on the CO with 6/6. I push. Folded to a guy in MP who limped with A/8 offsuit. He has about 1500 chips, it's costing him 2/3 his stack and he calls? Rivers an Ace.


Number 2 I'm down to 700 chips, blinds are 15/30. I catch A/A in MP. Guy before me limps for 30, I raise to 90. Folded to him, he calls.

Flop is 10/3/4 with two spades (I don't have one). He checks, I bet about 180 into the 225 pot, he calls. Turn is a 10, bringing a 2nd club to the board now as well. He checks, I push, he calls with J/10 and I'm sent packing.

Number 3 First hand I'm in the BB with A/K of diamonds. Bunch of limpers for 20 chips, I make it 200 to go, if someone wants to play, I'm ready to make it costly (hopefully I'll get called by a dominated Ace). Donk who UTG limped with Q/5 of clubs pushes for 1500. I make the obvious call, 5 on the flop and I'm sent packing.


Yes, I know, I'm tilting. I should be happy these idiots are playing like this, and I am. I just need a break, the constant suckouts are wearing me down right now, on top of other things going on in life that only compound the stress.

I've laid PLENTY of beats on others in my victories, so I guess it's karma/variance catching up. But for the time being, I really need something to cheer me up, so I'm going to spend some money on stuff for me (maybe a computer upgrade, new flat screen tv, something). Best of luck to all of you throughout your poker adventures. I'm just taking a break for now, get my head straight.
